Does anyone know where the TPS is located on the 2004 Durango? I have the throttle body off and cannot locate the TPS

 

If it is a HEMI, you do not have a TPS sensor.

If it is the 4.7L, the TPS is on the driver's side, right next to the IAC, if memory serves.

 

The parts store sold me a TPS and I can look up a TPS part number if I enter 5.7L Hemi. Are you sure the Hemi doesn't have a TPS?

 

Are you sure you weren't sold an APPS (Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor). The TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) is an integrated part of the throttle body and is not replaceable without replacing the entire throttle body.

The APPS is used only with the 5.7L V-8 engine.

The Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) is a linear potentiometer. It provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with a DC voltage signal proportional to the angle, or position of the accelerator pedal. The APPS signal is translated (along with other sensors) to place the throttle plate (within the throttle body) to a pre-determined position.
A mechanical cable is used between the accelerator pedal and the APPS assembly. Although a cable is used between the pedal and APPS, a mechanical cable is not used at the throttle body. Throttle plate position is electrically determined.
The Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) assembly is located under the vehicle battery tray. A cable connects the assembly to the accelerator pedal. A plastic cover with a movable door is used to cover the assembly.

 

Yes, 100% certain the 5.7L Hemi does not have a TPS. The auto parts stores are incorrect, I have seen this problem before.

If it looks similar to this:


That is the TPS used for a 4.7L V8, as well as a 5.2L V8, 5.9L V8, and even the 3.9L V6. However, as Hammer stated, the Hemi uses a different throttle system. It uses an APPS, no TPS.

If they sold you one of those, take it back and get a refund. What is your exact problem that you thought you needed a TPS for?

 

My wife's 04 Durango Hemi is throwing the P1120 trouble code, which normally means it is the TPS. However, since the Hemi does not have one, what is the code referring to in this case? TIA.

 

They definitely sold me a TPS. I'll take it back for a refund. My Durango is hesitating when I hit the gas from a dead stop, and then lunges forward after a second or two. It is fine in all other situations. It seems to be worse after parking it outside for a few hours or more. I have replaced the EGR and plugs. So I'm not sure if I should replace the throttle body or APPS next. Any suggestions?????

 

I would change the PCV valve if you have alot of miles on your Durango,

My Dodge Durango 2004 5.7 w/Hemi dies when coming to a stop during a heavy rain, and also in a car wash. What could be the problem. I’ve changed out all four O2 sensors.

 

I DK if this was answered for u or not but mine was doing the same thing. The crowl the plastic part by ur wipers and window. If it's not sealed the water runs down inside and will kill it every time. I dealt with this forever before I finally tracked down the problem. We sealed it off and I've never had a problem since.
